7 years. Great engineering culture. High growth possibilities. Not for people looking for a easy going environment.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The engineering culture has historically been excellent and is the strongest part of the company. In my 7 years, I experienced massive professional growth, moving from Engineer to Lead and touching every part of the stack (Backend, DevOps, Hardware). The company showed incredible resilience during COVID, retaining the entire engineering team when others were cutting back. If you are ambitious, performance-driven, and looking for a place where you can learn faster than at a standard corporate job, the opportunities here are unmatched.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Since the transition in technical leadership, the environment has become significantly more volatile. The structure is now very founder-led, which often results in micromanagement and sudden pivots rather than a clear strategic roadmap. While the engineering team is solid, there is a lack of formal frameworks for salary and career progression, making long-term growth difficult without constant negotiation. The business side sees high turnover, and the atmosphere can be tense if you aren't comfortable with a highly directive, top-down management style.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
The company has survived and thrived due to strong founder intuition, but to scale further, it needs structure.
1. Fill the technical leadership vacuum: promote a CTO/Technical Lead with the mandate to make autonomous decisions. The CEO cannot effectively manage both business and deep-tech execution simultaneously.
2. Professionalize HR/Compensation: Establish clear salary bands and career milestones so growth doesn't feel like a negotiation battle.
3. Reduce Micromanagement: Move from a 'command and control' style to a 'trust and verify' style to retain senior talent.
